About
the Conference
The
2009 Mega Conference will once again bring best
practices for realizing student achievement to
parents, administrators and educators in Nevada.
This
year will feature a number of quality educators
sharing strategies for student success, including
Ron Clark, who has been featured twice on the
Oprah Show and named Ms.Winfrey’s first
“Phenomenal Man”. Mr. Clark will kick off the
weekend of learning with his inspirational story of
raising student achievement by using unique and
innovative methods incorporating his 55 classroom
rules. These rules form the basis of his book, “The
Essential 55: An Award-Winning Educator’s Rules for
Discovering the Successful Student in Every Child.”
In
addition to 3 great keynote presentations, breakout
sessions will be offered. Presenters will include
administrators and teachers from nationally
recognized model schools as determined by the
International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE),
as well as professionals from highlighted Nevada
schools. “How-To” sessions will also be offered, and
will focus on adolescent literacy, instructional
practices for students with disabilities, 21st
century learning, and brain research.
